Welcome to Bawdsey

Bawdsey is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is situated on the eastern coast of England, overlooking the North Sea. The village is known for its rich history, which dates back to the Roman times. Bawdsey was once a thriving port town, and it played a significant role in the defense of England during World War II. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world.

One of the most notable landmarks in Bawdsey is the Bawdsey Manor Estate. The estate was built in the 1880s and was once the home of Sir Cuthbert Quilter, a wealthy businessman and art collector. During World War II, the estate was used as a research center for radar technology, which played a crucial role in the defense of England against German air raids. Today, the estate is a private residence, but visitors can still admire its beautiful architecture and learn about its fascinating history.

Another popular attraction in Bawdsey is the Bawdsey Radar Museum. The museum is located in the former RAF Bawdsey radar station, which was one of the first radar stations in the world. The museum tells the story of radar technology and its role in World War II, as well as its impact on modern technology. Visitors can explore the original radar equipment and learn about the brave men and women who worked at the station during the war. The museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of technology and warfare.
